Stories

People tell people stories. We have for a long time. As a species, we tend to explore, observe and touch the world around us. We interpret and try to find pattern in what we've observed. Then we often share these experiences with each other, whether through art, science, or story.

These are a few accounts from my experiences of the world.

Pygmy three-toed sloth

The pygmy three-toed sloth (Bradypus pygmaeus) seems to depend on the intertidal mangrove thickets of Isla Escudo de Veraguas and considered a critically endangered species by the IUCN. It's about 40% smaller then the mainland species of three-toed sloth and was only discovered to science in 2001. Consequently there are many holes in our knowledge of their natural history or the condition of their population. In 2011, myself and two other researchers decided to address the latter gap, and organized a 3 month expedition to conduct the first population census.
